When I step into water it gives me a primal sense of being alive. Anything other than that flows away. Water influences my existence and personality. This project is a journey and exploration of how I interact with the “fuzzy blue” in different ways. I ask myself, Why do I have such a deep connection? I record every feeling and interaction by making photographs some with a camera and some without.
My ongoing project about water is based on a childhood trauma in which i was thrown into a pool by my swimming coach. Afterwards, I did not swim for 8 years. I became a self taught swimmer, spending more time in pools, lakes and rivers. Swimming eventually became a favorite mode of recreation for me.The experience of isolation and contemplation in swimming made me feel more alive and is quite therapeutic.
